Thriving Employee, Winning Enterprise
Wednesday, November 18, 2020

Summary
Canadians suffer from the classic retirement trilemma. They want, at once, asset growth, access whenever they want it, and assurance that they will have enough when they retire. But these goals cannot all be satisfied at once, and without the proper information or incentives, many Canadians are not saving enough, or are invested too conservatively, leading, potentially, to delayed retirement.
If Canada's workforce is to be financially well and able to retire at the age they desire, more must be done to encourage them not just to save, but to invest. Success is achievable and accomplished through an increased focus on re-engaging employees through innovative and less traditional approaches that evolve with the change in generations. Allowing access to employee savings that promote debt re-payment, while the company contributes towards retirement, access to personal savings accounts through the workplace and guidance to prepare employees as they approach retirement are all steps to moving employees towards financial freedom.
Jillian, along with the SCN community, will dive into this important topic to discuss ways to foster trust and support employees’ financial wellness and how to engage employees in planning for their retirement.
